7. Oceanfront spa bed and breakfast (from USD 105)

Located a street away from the oceanfront area is this charming and spacious beach cottage. The place is larger than what your idea of a traditional bed and breakfast is and yet it retains the homespun factor. With just eight rooms, you can be assured of personalized attention that these accommodations are so famous for. Each room has an ensuite bathroom, but the highlight here is the third-floor spa, which is unheard of in a bed and breakfast. It even has an outdoor spa pool for you to relax after a long day of exploration. Wrapping up a stunning offering are the gardens, porches, and a cascading waterfall.
